Mountains

Southern Sky Adventures: Mountains

The mountains of sub Saharan Africa offer wonderful opportunities for climbing pursuits. In East Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,341 feet) is well known as the tallest point in Africa but is a mountain to be summited by the grandchild and the grandparent. Mt. Kenya (17,057 feet) is the second highest mountain in Kenya and poses a bit more of a technical climb. The mountains of Rwanda and Uganda serve as the home to the endangered Mountain Gorilla and in southern Africa the beauty of South Africa’s Drakensberg Mountains and Namibia’s Fish River Canyon provide further options for hiking.
